EditLay vs OpenCaptions

A free video editor for iPhone with no watermark, no ads, no subscription and no length limit. The interface is in English, with Polish available. You pick your language the first time you open the app and can switch it any time in Settings. Import footage from your camera roll or record straight in the app, cut it on a multi-track timeline and export up to 4K. Send the finished film directly to Instagram Stories or TikTok. Multi-track timeline Trim with handles, split clips, long-press and drag to reorder, pinch with two fingers to zoom. Stop the playhead and you see that exact frame, with a frame-by-frame step either side of it, so a cut lands where you meant it to. Over 500 looks and 500 effects Adjust exposure, contrast, temperature and tinting. Plus transitions and camera moves that give rhythm to ordinary phone footage. Animated captions Choose the typeface, the size and the colour of caption text, on top of 500 ready styles and 525 entrance and exit animations, gradients, outlines and backdrops. Automatic captions are recognised straight from the recording on your device, so you never retype dialogue by hand. Automatic edit to music The app detects the beat of a track, matches shot length to the tempo and adds a look, camera move and title card by itself. You get a finished draft you can refine. Export and peace of mind Export up to 4K, or use Quick Export at half resolution for fast checks. Every project keeps up to 25 versions and backs up to your own iCloud, so nothing gets lost. Community template shelf Publish your editing recipe or use someone else's. You can report and block creators, so you stay in control of what you see. Download EditLay and cut your first film without a watermark.

Add animated captions to any video in a minute, and keep it private: OpenCaptions listens to your video on your iPhone, writes the words with their timing, and never sends it anywhere. WHAT YOU GET • Automatic captions in about 100 languages, made on your phone with Whisper • Word-by-word highlighting, with styles from clean and quiet to loud and bold • Your fonts: pick from the Google Fonts library • A timeline to fix a word, move a caption or retime it • Drag and pinch to place and size the captions right in the preview • Save as H.264 or HEVC, with the size and frame rate you choose • HDR videos stay HDR PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No cloud. Your videos stay on your device. If you run your own OpenCaptions server, the app can send audio there instead, but only if you set it up. FREE, AND PRO WHEN YOU WANT MORE The free app has everything you need to caption a video and save it up to 1080p at 30 fps, with a small mark in the corner. Pro is a single purchase, with no subscription ever: it removes the mark and adds 4K, 60 fps, HDR, and every caption style. OPEN SOURCE OpenCaptions is open source (AGPL-3.0). Read the code, build it yourself, or host the web version with Docker: github.com/leogaudin/opencaptions
